  • They need to finish this!!!

  • Wow ,I'm watching all those old intros and I must say I know every single one. That was a good childhood. Plus Dragon Ball of course.

  • If only troll science worked. If I could get infinite money, it would all go into bringing shows like this back to television. Not only these shows died, but everything they stood for died with them. Everyone's too afraid to make something dark or interesting nowadays. Pirates of Dark Water, Gargoyles, Mighty Max, all dark, interesting, weird, and totally fucking awesome. Now it's all dumbed down crap, with heroes about as interesting as cardboard, lest a complex hero confuse the children.

  • Ren has the Hulk Hogan tan.

  • My god,that cartoon is awesome!!

    And i am just 17. :)

  • its like todays cartoons are failed american idol contestants: some are good, others should never have tried

  • man someone should really revive this show

  • i totally forgot this cartoon and i didn't even remember the theme song directly but when i did i remember that i have so good memory that time.thanks so much

  • There was actually a book for this. The author is Lee Acosta. So you can actually find out the ending by reading the book.

  • I remember the last show ended in a cliff-hanger. Exosquad, Conan, Biker mice from mars, skeleton warriors and Mutant League seemed to be the cartoons of that year and the following one as well. Just added Exosquad to my spell checker.....

  • never did get to watch the ending of this

  • @cklambo This show had around 10 episodes or less before it was canceled. We will sadly not see an ending :(

  • ahh good times on cartoon network

  • omg i forgot all about this show! I miss it!

  • two people are landlubbers!

  • Jongo longo!

  • i would totally do the chick....to quote family guy " I would do her.....i just thought you should know a bit about who i am.."

  • the voice over sounds like cheech marin

  • I remember this opening and I remember watching a few episodes as a kid.

    But in all honesty, I don't actually remember what happened in the episodes themselves.

    Hopefully they'll release it on DVD sometime soon so I can refresh my memory.

  • main character looks like xandir from drawn together

  • @Ozymondias99 So, I'm not the only one who thinks that? Sweet!

  • when i have kids im seriously only letting them watch dvd's from the 80's and early 90's before they can make their own decisions. gummi bears, fraggle rock, pirates of dark water, scooby doo (and 13 ghosts), rescue rangers, duck tales, talespin, darkwing duck, the snorks, pound puppies, wacky races, space race, pete and pete, salute your shorts, hey dude, smurfs, the list is endless. My kids will thank me later in life when they know how to survive after the zombie apocalypse. you guys wont!!!

  • @grindtildeath You picked some of the worst shows of the era.

    You better let your kids watch the badass new shows too.

    

  • @batmanownsyourass your right, sorry i left out rainbow bright and yu-gi-oh. Btw in my opinion Bruce wayne is dead, Bane broke his back long ago and Azrael took over, you know its true.

  • @grindtildeath Except there have been three Batmen since that happened, not including the return of Bruce Wayne.

  • @batmanownsyourass yea and what does that tell you since there have been three batmans since the one that actually kicked ass? and i bet you just suck that shit up dont you? Like the fags that bought into the 4 supermans once he got his ass destroyed by doomsday, hey it helps keeps my comics worth more than your opinion so guess its decent right lol, and yea I have platinum macfarlane spiderman #1 so im used to failing, sorry, oh wait.

  • @grindtildeath

    Am currently "educating" my ten year old nephew on old cartoons. When he noticed me rolling my eyes while being forced to watch one of his current favourite cartoons he challenged me to find a better one. I showed him some old intros on YouTube and he was hooked, so now I'm buying as many 80s/90s shows as I can get on DVD: PoDW, Swat Kats, Biker Mice from Mars, X-Men, Spiderman, Gargoyles, Digimon, Transformers/Beast Wars, War Planets Shadow Raiders, etc :)

  • @EnigmaDrath I can guarantee he will like SWAT Kats, Pirates of Dark Water and probably Spider-Man. I feel bad for kids now. We had it so good that it was to the point where we had to hedge the good shows if they were on at the same time.

  • @grindtildeath wtf i thought i was only one planning to show my kids dvds from the 80's and 90's?! best era of cartoons man, the birth of cartoon network at that time they only played the classics.

  • @prime513 hell yea when cartoon network first started it was all the classic hanna barbara stuff, wacky races, space race, scooby doo, flinstones, jetsons, topcat, hong kong phooey. Its sad in a way but I guess its the same for every generation, watching all the gems slip through the cracks as time goes by.

  • Such a shame cartoons talk down to children now, what happened to proper storylines and complex characters?

  • I vaguely remember this show but I totally remember that weird ass bird! hahah

  • Dude this was awesome, i literally watched every episode on their first airing.

    If anyone knows what that means, it means i got the run around a LOT.

  • How much I loved this cartoon.

  • How many people think that waterworld the most expensive sci fi abortion ever made should of ripped the story from pirates of dark water instead!

  • Wasn't this made by Hannah Barbara?

  • Y'know how movie studios have this weird fascination remaking things from the 1980s and 1990s that were not that good? Why not remake Pirates of Dark Water! This is one that should be remade, and it would be fucking badass!

  • @georginiou I pray they don't. Why? Cause they would DESTROY IT. Look what they did to vampires. . .LOOK!

  • BP anyone?

  • This never got shown here, or if it did it must have been one of those 6 A.M. filler cartoons between the infomercials and foxkids broadcast

  • They never even found all the treasures. I was saddened.

  • If you don't love Pirates of Dark Water, then you don't like Pirates, and if you don't like Pirates, you have failed at life.

  • @youreallshit Go ninjas!

  • My childhood days. Back when cartoons used to be so great.

  • I remember seeing this cartoon as ABC teased it in their Saturday morning preview one night in 1991. Great animation and interesting plot. Too bad the series succumbed to cancellation. I'm happy that's it now out on DVD.

  • Pomagranit?

  • My dad named me Renn because of this series lol.

  • @nosmallo you don't think.... NOOO IT CANT BE!! BUT COULD IT?! THE CREATOR OF THIS SHOW TRAVELED THRU TIME AND USED DRAWN TOGETHER AS INSPIRATION FOR THE MAIN CHARACTER OF PIRATES OF DARKWATER!!!! you have solved a great mystery today, nosmallo. We r in ur debt.

  • Does anyone think Ren looks like Xander from Drawn Together?

  • this was my very first cartoon loved it:) tv is just plain crap now:(

  • I remember this show being really scary and cool!

  • Witajcie kochani , każdy kto chce obejżeć tą wspaniała bajkę z dzieciństwa z napisami PL zaprzaszam do mojego chomika prymasowa ;)

  • This cartoon ended with such a cliff hanger

  • Possibly my most favorite cartoon of all time! I was crushed to find it was cancelled...

  • this is the best cartoon i have ever seen

  • yeah i only saw it till Ren found only half of the treasures X( then nothing mm... they say it was canceled for some reason but i really liked it.

  • I totally saw one episode of this as a kid, but then the series just vanished like nobody's business. Sad, because I thought it were infinitely cool.

  • i loved this theme song when I was a kid. too bad they never finished this show

  • I miss my childhood of the 1980's and early 1990's

  • I am ashamed to say that I had completely and utterly forgotten about this, until like 2 days ago. When I saw just 3 seconds, saw the characters, heard the music... it all just kicked in. I really need to watch this because I remember loving it even though I don't remember the details.

  • @ThePeskyBug Same thing happened to me. I watched this show religiously

  • each and every friend of mine remembers this show. to bad they never finished it.

  • It's such scary concept for a show. I mean black water caable of swallowing whole islands slowly spreading and taking over the world? How are you meant to fight against dark water? It's nightmarish.

  • @kingjamie2 with badass space arab wizardry. this show fucking rocked

  • Loved this show. Jodi (Ariel) Benson provided the voice of Tula and Hector Elizondo (Pretty Woman, Princess Diaries) served as both announcer and the voice of Ioz.

  • Watching old cartoons like this make me sad that nowadays instead of watching all these evil/crime/monster-fighting hero shows, they watch stupid cartoons that are so passionless and uninspiring. If you don't see my point, imagine playing Pirates of Dark Water or Jackie Chan Adventures in your backyard with your friends vs. playing a show of today, like Johnny Test, Regular Show, Almost naked Animals, or any other show Thank the Jesus for Clone Wars.

  • Sinbad.

  • I used to love this, me and my mum still talk about it! Did they ever get all thirteen pieces though? I never saw the conclusion.

  • @KiteSwift nope only 8

  • @a1rh3add

    Another cartoon died before its time:-(

  • "Samurai Pizza Cats"?? anyone?? or did I dream it?

  • @suth2984 You did not. Samurai Pizza Cats is very, very real.

  • Cartoon Network should of revived this show, not the freaking Thundercats.

  • MY GOD this show was epic!

    I'm only 18 but I LOVED it!

    It's so sad that kids today get Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus to look at....

    not EPIC BATTLES to save a planet from corruption!

    There's no imagination in children's tv anymore...

  • 240p, we meet again.

  • Guys, friends ... I recall watching this when I was a very young kid (was born in 88). This was on just long enough for me to have a memory of it. This was one of those lost, rare gems of a show when I look back on it. Brethren, rejoice, that we lived and grew up in such wonderful eras ... the 80s and 90s.

  • This was one of the all time best cartoons ever aired in America. If you missed this show Gawd, I feel sorry for you. This show was EPIC!!! I cannot believe this video has been on here since '08 and it has less than 100,000 pageviews. That's insanity.

  • When other 6 year old girls were watching My Little Pony, I was watching this.

    Miss these shows

  • best show ever!!!!

    next to x-men lol(imo)

  • Such a shame this show was never finished. I had the video game for the SNES. Good times. Back when cartoons had morals and an actual plotline. -_-'

  • EPIC childhood.no more no less

  • I used to wish the main character had a complete sword.

  • I MISS THEM LIKE AIR! :(

  • this was when cartoon network showed actual cartoons, honestly i only watch ben10 and generator rex and loonytoons. cartoon network is shit now

  • @123grit Right, cartoon network is shit because they show shit. I totally agree. However it's not shit because they don't really show anime anymore like they did back in 2004, it's shit because... (well as I said...) they show shit. How can you call yourself a network of cartoons when you're showing live action shows? They're so many shows people loved that got gopps of attention and EPIC shows people never got the chance to even watch and this is the shit they show us? I'm fucking outraged!

  • @cinyaca yep, Dragonball and dexters lab during the day and.....wait for it....Actual Anime at night!!! I swear I saw Ghost in the shell 1st on CN! how the mighty fall!!

  • Piraci Mrocznych Wód Pirates of Darkwater (1991) z napisami PL ZAPRASZAM

  • Man, I haven't seen this in years. Me and my older sister use to watch this all the time

  • As a kid, I always thought Tula and Jasmine (Aladdin) where the same person lol.

    I was so inspired by this show, I'm actually making a web-comic similar to Pirates of Dark Water

  • LOVE THIS CARTOON, IT SHOULD BE REMADE

  • AAAAAH show y u have ending!?!?!?

  • I love this cartoon!

  • 2 people never found the Thirteen Treasures of Ruul.

  • Another show that was made to be pure badass. Shows now adays are so incredible gay

  • I just remember watching this opening, and when Tula tames those drake looking things, and my 8 year old self going: HOW THE FUCK DID SHE DO THAT?!

  • They need to resurrect them ALL!!!! Bring them ALL back...and heck! FINISH THIS SERIES!!!!

  • I lawled. Man I haven't seen this in forever. Serious 90's flash back.

  • Just got a flashback!

  • i just finished watching the series.I got soooooooo sad when it ended!

  • Lord Bloth. Great villain name or greatest villain name?

  • Watching The New ThunderCats Every Friday Night On Cartoon Network Gives Me Hope That One Day Someone Will Resurrect This Classic Series As Well!

  • whoa... I've been looking for this for soo long, I remember watching this on VHS as a tiny little girl, it was pure awesomeness

  • if i once missed a episode, throwing a cerialbox woulnd help much around :D

  • Noijithat

  • I demand to see a movie inspired from this cartoon, made by Peter Jackson.

  • @avengedguy holy baby jesus that is a good idea!!1

  • @avengedguy I agree. he was do a supurb job.

  • @avengedguy OH MAN! A live action movie inspired by this cartoon, directed by Peter Jackson in the style of LOTR would be the best thing ever. They have to do it in my lifetime. I can already hear the soundtrack remastered into an epic tune.

  • @avengedguy Would you settle for Gore Verbinski?

  • for over 10 years i've been trying to find this cartoon, never could remember the name.

    awesome show.

  • xander? O_o

  • Oh this takes me back! What a epic show!

  • THIS WAS THE SHOW!!!!!!!!!

  • Damn they don't make em like this anymore. I hear it was nixed because there wasn't enough money in the budget. Hanna Barbera has the money, they would be smart to bring it back.

  • I LOVEEEEEEEE

  • I never cared for this show growing up. Now, I kind of wish someone besides the internet have these shows up somewhere to watch. I kind would like to watch this show as well as the original ThunderCats.

  • Nostalgia... :'D

  • Noi ji'tat! Lol the expressions on here makes me laugh so hard. Man barely any "good" cartoons like this come on anymore

  • this was my sheeiit

  • Who else remembered this cartoon because tasteless talked about it?

  • I remember watching this for the first time and I was hooked at the opening credits. Just watching this you knew that you were in for greatness. Shame that it never was completed.

  • Sometimes old school did have it right. Man, I miss this show.

  • I use to love watching this show when I was a kid. David the Gnome, Grimm's Fairy Tales, Gargoyles, Ronin Warriors, Teknoman, Batman TAS etc. Shows need to challenge kids creativity and enlighten their minds. Watching sponge bob all day is going to make a kid stupid and turn their brains into garbage.

  • This show was really awesome what a shame it is gone i hate the cartoons of today dispose of disney xd and disney channel and make place for the old cartoons of the year 90`s!!!

  • miss this show so much

  • YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!! I was looking for this for years!!!!!!!!!

  • @AdamChick08 OMFG, ME TOO! Oh i've looked for this cartoon for ages!

  • In an alternate universe, The Pirates of Dark Water continued on several seasons until the epic finale where Ren defeated Captain Bloth and freed all of Mer from the grip of the Dark Water, and soon afterwards assumed the throne of an Octopon being rebuilt and revitalized, morale bolstered by the prince's unexpected victory over the forces of evil in a shocking two-part episode.

    A decade later, Captain Malcolm Reynolds finally humiliates the Alliance into collapse after 7 seasons of Firefly.

  • @JediJoe07

    I like it!! hahaha!

    We need a three way battle between Ren, Bloth and the Dark Water itself....

  • @JediJoe07 Bravo sir, do you perhaps have a machine which would allow one to travel to this universe?

  • @WolfLord5 I'm working on it as we speak! I just need one flux capacitor and a 5/16ths wrench...

  • @JediJoe07 What is this? A universe where television producers know what they are doing?!

  • @GaijinCartoonist Itąs the universe of 80'. Time of greatest cartoons ever.

  • @GaijinCartoonist This is why I swear by this; the 90's were the golden age of cartoons.

  • @JediJoe07 roflmao

  • @JediJoe07 Get me to that universe!

  • I remember it when it was on swedish television and in swedish dubb and I compared Captain Bloth's ship with the Juggernaughts in the RTS Game Warcraft 2... Good times <3

  • Wow,I used to watch this cartoon I was like 10 or sth :)

  • If I can get the DVD set I am

  • I had actually forgotten about this series completely, but I used to watch it religiously! I was browsing Wikipedia, and somehow came across the title "Pirates of Dark Water". It was like a little light bulp turned on in my head; I just suddenly snapped to attention, and I was like, "Hey, that sounds familiar!" And here I am, and I'm glad of it!

  • This makes me glad I'm not a kid anymore...mostly because if I was a kid now I would have missed out on awesomeness such as Pirates of Dark Water, He-man, and Bravestarr

  • I want to see this be turned into a movie!

  • This and Swat Kats were the best things Hanna Barbera did in the 90's.

  • @andoc I LOVED Swat Kats! :D

  • Tula was so hot! Man, sucks that they cancelled this show!

  • I am sooo upset that boomerang cancelled this show.

  • I had that monkey bird action figure growing up! =) I apparently had a play-set as well, but I sadly do not remember it. =(

  • @bl4cKnWhit3 with Zac Efron honestly the guy looks like ren just with darker hair and lighter skin I thought two years ago why not doing a pirate movie with Zac Efron playing Ren's rol he would be perfect phisically but in the role he needs to be more agressive than he is in the musicals lol!

  • They should make a movie about this ffs

  • OMFG why does Ren look like Xander from' Drawn Together' series

  • This cartoon holds so much importance to me. I used to watch this everyday when I was 3-4 with my dad. I wish i could go back to that time. this show will always remind me of simpler times

  • Comment removed

  • @IHereVoices the villain is not white, just pale while the rest, being in the sun and sea for too long,are just tanned. They should have done it in black and white or just colourless, perhaps then, it would have gone beyond 25 episodes.....

  • @Time2Keel you mean like sincity with the lipstick and the sky in red and everything black gray and white??

    Hmmmmm...

  • @Time2Keel Why do you say that?

    Also, I was just commenting on the fact that the heroes are not Caucasian, which I wish would happen more often, because stupid tv people are jerks *coughearthseacough*. Kinda like Avatar that way!

  • @IHereVoices: Perhaps for the same reason it went 25 epi only...ah!, Avatar in blue with9 Acedamy nominations but the Oscar went to Hurt Locker with the same number of nominations....

    -Blue Resistance lost to the dusty apathy of the colourless desert Warfare.....colourful defeated by colourless. " Pirates of Dark waters"....Dark is a colour too and here, it equates to piracy and evil.

    Strange parody of colours in moviedom and real life, don't you think so?.

  • @IHereVoices

    A lot of the characters are white, just tanned, even the main character with blonde hair and blue eyes is white... what's nice about there only being one white character, asshole?

  • @LeandroCenturion You guys are tripping. Tula and Ioz are obviously Eastern European or Asian, arabic even. And you don't always have to be white to have blonde hair.

  • Nostalgasm.

  • @Lleanlleawrg tell me about it

  • WOW THIS LOOKS HELLA OLD

  • @YashPwnter If you look in wikipedia it says it was released in 1990

  • I haven't seen this show in probably close to 15 years. It's crazy seeing these images again. O the nostalgia!

  • Now these were the days where you'd sit down to watch heroes you wanted to be do what they do best- BEING HEROES.

    Today, there's mainly characters that act retarded all the time.

  • did they even finish the series

  • @xanhort no they didn't.....they only did 25 episodes and only found 5 treasures.

  • @TheDragonSlayer011 Um, no, they did 21 episodes, and found 8.
